TO AMERICA. 

How would you have us, as wc are, 

Or sinking 'neath the load we bear? 

Our eyes fixed forward on a star / 

Or gazing empty at despair ? 

Rising or falling? Men or thingg? 
With dragging pace or footsteps fleet? 
Strong, willing sinews in your wings? 
Or tightening chains about your feet?

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. 

Newark is the metropolis of New Jersey, and is primarily noted as a 
manufacturing city. 

It is in the northeastern section of the state, and is located upon the 
banks of the Passaic River, and is admirably situated, not only having a river 
and port frontage, but also good railroad facilities. It is entered by four or 
five trunk lines, and has ready access to the transportation equipment of New 
York City, which is only nine miles distant. Newark is therefore kept in touch 
with all ports of the world by reason of the variety of work done here. In 
fact, Newark is said to have the most diversified range of industries of any 
city of its size in the United States. It ranks eleventh in the list of the largest 
manufacturing cities, and its leading products are leather, jewelry and cellu- 
loid. 

The population of Newark is estimated to be around four hundred and fifty 
thousand. The census of 19 lo gave it three hundred forty-seven thousand and 
four hundred and sixty-nine inhabitants; but the influx since the great war has 
added a great deal more ; since a great many large war industries located within 
or near Newark. The towns of Montclair, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Irving- 
ton, Hilton, Lyons Farms and the Oranges are prosperous and form the 
nucleus of a Greater Newark. They are all connected with Newark by an 
extensive street railway and motor bus system ; although the largest of these 
towns have railroad service. 

The educational system is one of the finest in the country, without any exag- 
geration. It is up to date in its methods and the school buildings are of the 
latest type in construction and equipment. There are fifty-four public schools, 
four high schools, industrial, commercial and classical, two vocational and 
open-air schools, besides a state normal school. I'here are also several schools 
for defectives, three ungraded schools, school for the deaf and a school of in- 
dustrial art. Some of the public schools are all year schools, and there are 
also all year recreation centers. 

The residents of Newark are very fortunate in having drinking waler 
from the finest watershed in the Eastern States. This watershed is located 
in an area just north of Newark, in the Pequanack Valley, and comprises sixty- 
two-and a half square miles, of which fifty-seven and a half per cent, is owned 
by Newark. The city owns 23,000 acres around the watershed and is con- 
tinually adding to it, having purchased in 19 15 over 1,900 acres. By this 
method the quantity and purity of the water is assured. The supply to New- 
ark is fifty million gallons daily. The system is worth twenty million dollars, 
and costs annually a quarter of a million to maintain. 

There are three things to remember in connection with Newark's water 
supply — first, its purity; second, its abundance; third, that it is owned by the 
city. 

May we venture to suggest to the residents of Newark a greater civic 
pride and appreciation of Newark's greatness and possibilities, and a hearty 
invitation to those, who have not visited this city, and a heartier invitation to 
come and stay, for these Newark offers a most cordial welcome. 



THE COLORED GIRL IN THE NEW INDUSTRIAL SITUATION. 

By Cecelia Cabaniss Saunders 
General Secretary Colored Women's Branch. 

The greatest heritage the war has left to the colored woman, in com- 
mon with her sisters of all hues and races has not been the fact that new posi- 
tions have been opened to her, but rather the abolition of the tradition that 
certain positions in trades, business and professions are the inherent right of 
any race or sex, and the establishment of a precedent which must act as an 
opening wedge ; henceforth inclination and efficiency, not sex or race, must de- 
cide in what occupation one shall engage. More strictly speaking, this result 
can really not be considered a product of the war; it was merely hastened by 
the necessities of the war. It was in the line of progress and had to come. To- 
day, therefore, we have colored girls emploj^ed in department stores as stock 
girls, wrappers, elevator operators, shoppers, etc.; in commercial and business 
houses as stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, billing-machine operators; in 
Federal, State and Municipal departments as clerks, nurses, food demonstra- 
tors, social investigators, etc. It is true that colored girls have been in the 
various trades and shops for many years, but the numbers have been greatly 
increased. In New York City it has been not so much a matter of replace- 
ment as of dilution ; it has not been a matter of whole factories or even whole 
processes being given over, but rather an absorption of colored women into 
the rank and file. 

The results have been the same as have attended the introduction of any 
new and unorganized group into industry. There has been the usual exploita- 
tion. For the same reasons or excuses that have been given for reducing the 
wages paid to women when they have replaced men, wages paid colored women 
have been lower than those paid white wom.en for a corresponding amount and 
grade. Naturally colored women have fared better in this respect with con- 
cerns never having employed women at all, since they were able to skip one 
step in the process of replacement. 

The waging of a common economic warfare in conjunction with others of 
her sex has been of educational value to the colored girl. The study of the 
her to interpret the oppostion to her entering industry rather as a stage in in- 
history and methods of trades unions that has been forced upon her has helped 
dustrial evolution where each successive group which has gained industrial 
opportunity has sought to restrain the next lower group in the scale, and not 
merely as another evidence of race prejudice. To be sure this has been a con- 
tributory cause, but a minor one, and it has arisen more from a natural dislike 
to the unlike, the unknown, the untried, than from purely racial reasons. 

Because just after the signing of the armistice the colored woman was the 
first to be dropped from the war industries, some argued that she would per- 
manently lose her place in industry, whereas the cause for her being dropped 
was the inevitable result of the cancellation of war contracts. The colored 
woman will remain in industry for a very fundamental economic reason ; she 
represents cheap labor, and in her present unorganized state, scab labor; the 
attractive qualities in the eyes of the employer, who more than ever is seeking 
world trade. How long this condition will obtain will depend upon the busi- 
ness sagacity and the quick action of the various trades unions. This is a 
matter demanding the attention particularly of the garment unions, where 



colored women are competing in such large numbers. At the present time 
their locals are inviting the membership of colored women, but they have not 
as yet undertaken the intensive educational campaign necessary to overcome 
their prejudice. 

The need of the colored women at this time is for industrial training, 
organization and the opportunity to be judged as an individual worker. 



YOUR BOY'S FUTURE. 
By H. Addington Bruce. 

This is to be your boy's last year in school, after which he is to strike out 
in the world for himself. As yet, however, neither he nor you have given 
much thought to the question of what vocation he shall take up when his 
school days are ended. 

He knows that he will have to work at something. But he professes to 
have no special leaning to any particular kind of work. He is quite 
willing to launch into any business with money-making possibilities. 

That sounds reasonable enough. Actually it is unreasonable. I am 
tempted to describe it as irrational. 

For it leaves your boy quite at the mercy of circumstances. It leaves 
Chance as a determiner of his destiny. And Chance is more likely than not 
to determine his destiny badly. 

Chance may land him in a business for which he is physically, mentally 
and temperamentally unfit. He cannot make headway in such a business. He 
can only plod along miserably, perhaps to the wrecking of his health itself. 

Or suppose that he is a boy mechanically-minded rather than of intel- 
lectual ability. He would do best in some business where he would be called 
upon to handle machinery. 

Chance beckons him into a vocation where intellectual ability counts for 
most. His fate is not hard to foretell. If he sticks in that vocation — and he 
may fear to shift out of it — he will be an incompetent all his days. 

Suppose, for example, that he is a boy who has inherited a tendency to 
lung trouble. Work that would keep him much in the open would be pe- 
culiarly advantageous to him. 

But Chance offers him a lucrative opening in a business that confines him 
mdoors all the working day and keeps him in a cramped, stooping posture to 
do the desk work assigned to him. Accepting this opening, he exposes himself 
all unawares to exceptional liability to tuberculosis, pneumonia or some other 
disease of the lungs. 

No. If you really have your boy's future at heart you will not leave 
that future entirely in the hands of Chance. You will at least make an effort 
to help your boy choose his vocation wisely. 

And you had better begin at once, not wait until the time comes for him 
to make the great decision. 



Study your boy with reference to the school subjects in which he is most 
interested. Observe the occupations of his leisure. Talk to his teachers about 
him. Get their views with regard to his natural aptitudes. 

Take the family doctor into your confidence. Question him about your 
boy's physique, his bodily fitness for this or that vocation. 

Disregard your own desires as to the calling you personally would most 
prefer to see your boy take up. It is his future that is at stake, not yours. Do 
not let social aspirations blind you or mislead you. 

Better far to have your boy successful and happy in a socially inferior 
vocation than a failure and wretched in a socially superior one. 

The world has too many vocational misfits now. Save your boy from 
becoming another. The responsibility is yours and the opportunity.

SUCCESS. 
By I. G. Kennedy. 



When the lives of all great characters in history are analyzed, it will be 
found that the outstanding virtues that have made their dreams' realization 
are modesty, vision, faith, an insatiable desire for knov/ledge and a capacity for 
great labor inspired by lofty ideals. The great Lincoln, that shining mark of 
inspiration for all American manhood, dreamed his simple dreams of boyhood, 
even as you and I. Dreamed his dreams of manhood from the songs of forest 
and stream, from the plowed furrow and from the simple teachings of a sainted 
mother. He is, all in all, the perfect type of humbleness exalted through the 
trials of adversity — self-denial, knowledge and modesty his guiding star. 

There is not a man in any business organization who has not at his com- 
mand greater opportunities for rising to any coveted goal than had this poor 
rail splitter. It would be impossible for you to walk ten city blocks in any 
American city without having thrust upon you a thousand means of knowl- 
edge and opportunity that were denied your fathers. "The fault, dear Brutus, 
lies not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings." 

If every man v/ould treat his mind with half the consideration he would 
give the motive power of his automobile there would be no limit to his power. 

If he could only have a little brain garage where he could get down under 
the machine and remove the carbon of indifference and imaginary impediments, 
if he could only touch up the spark plugs of his imagination — oh, what a dif- 
ference. If he could only use one hour a day in his general overhauling, imag- 
ine the speed he could generate! Can 3'ou imagine any hill he wouldn't take 
"on high?" 

We are all made in the image of God, endowed with all the energy of a 
buzz saw in motion, if we will only steam up the old engine of ambition and 
enthusiasm. We are veritable waves of force and power, capable of wiping 
out any bulkhead of opposition, for we are, after all, all that we are after. 

We will not attempt to analyze the success and failures of the various 
men who have come and gone. But one question need be answered, and we 



will have their analysis. Did they get understanding? If they got under- 
standing, then it is not necessary to ask if they applied it, for they could not 
hold it back if they would, and would not if they could, because it is the most 
pleasurable and profitable thing in the world to use. It is irresistible, and it 
will not be submerj^ed. It is the lever that lays WaSte the mountain and pries 
the lid from every strong box. Yes it made a President out of the poor and 
ambitious Rail Splitter, "and it will answer your call, and go where you bid 
it go. 

FoUov/ that occupation which most appeals to your imagination. ^ Each of 
us has implanted in him some sneciU pift. Successful men vv^ill admit to you 
that they attribute their success to doing the thing they most wanted to do. 
Yet, you will scarcely ever find a successful man who can analyze his own suc- 
cess. Theodore Roosevelt knew no more of the ways of his success than did 
Julius Caesar. No history has ever given us the details or formula of success ; 
but it is a good wager that knowledge, and love for knowledge, and the fun 
of chasing it in, has brought bigger returns than hard, aimless plodding. If 
your talent is salesmanship, develop the talent. 

The things wc think are but the things we do. If we think big thoughts 
we have paved the way for big deeds. If we attempt big things and fail, that 
part of our effort v/hich has been performed has not been lost; it remains as a 
guiding star for others who follow in the blazed trail of our undeveloped op- 
portunity. 

The man who takes up the unfinished task of the pioneer tries and puts 
his heart in it and follows it through, has only added the element of success 
which it originally lacked. 

Misfortune has made fortunes. Hardships have created ease. Warfare 
has given us peace. Disaster has brought us our greatest reforms. Competi- 
tion, which has always risen like a grim spectre at the beginning of any enter- 
prise, has usually proven itself to be its greatest benefactor. Opposition is but 
the test of man's endurance. Failure can never be written until we ourselves 
have written it. The measure of all success is well directed efifort, and all well 
directed effort means careful, consistent thinking. Thinking means planning 
and building must follow planning, else your dream will never be shaped into 
reality. 

Then, what is your dream? What vv'ould you attain? What price v/ill 
you pay. What lessons will you learn from the past? What is your goal? 

There is but one lamp to light you on your darkened way — the lamp of 
knowledge — the only thing you can't borrow from a kindly neighbor. 

Success is but a Dream come true, 
A firm resolve to see it through, 
A goal affixed, a shining light, 
A v/ill to do with all our might.

BANKING HINTS. 

HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT— First call at the bank and make 
yourself known to some one of the officials, who will explain their service re- 
garding accounts. The receiving teller, as you make your first deposit, will 
give you a pass book and make the credit entries, which will be your receipt 
for the various sums deposited. 

This book is the property of the bank and should be used for no other 
purpose. At the same time your signature will be taken on a card kept for 
that special purpose, and you should always endorse notes and checks precisely 
in the same way, so as to avoid confusion. 

TO MAKE OUT DEPOSIT SLIPS— The bank will furnish you with 
deposit slips, which you should fill out and have proved by the teller. The 
cash, checks, drafts and other paper are always listed separately. Write figures 
in the column, add up, and express the total. Give your pass book and deposit 
slip to the Receiving Teller, so that he may enter the proper amount to your 
credit in your book. 

TO DRAW CHECKS— A check is merely an order for the bank to pay 
a certain sum to some person you designate. This sum is taken out of the 
funds standing to your credit. You can make checks payable to order or bearer, 
if made payable to order the person known as payee must endorse the check 
before the money will be paid by the bank. Checks payable to bearer can be 
presented by any one, paid and no questions asked. 

However, if the paying teller suspects that there is anything wrong when 
a bearer check is presented he may refuse to cash it until investigation is made. 
Care should be taken by the maker of a check to protect himself against a dis- 
honest use of his paper. Always write a check with pen and ink. Be sure you 
write the amount both in figures and words as far to the left as possible, so 
that nothing can be inserted before it; fill up remaining space with a heavy 
line, so that nothing can be added after the amount. Write your figures 
plainly and see that they agree in amount with the written amount given. 

CERTIFIED CHECKS— A certified check is guaranteed by the bank on 
which it is drawn to be good when properly endorsed. This guarantee is writ- 
ten across the face and signed by an official of the bank. 

This binds the bank to pay the check, but the bank may limit the time and 
usually does, in which it must be presented. 

ENDORSEMENTS — An endorsement is simply the signature of the 
payee on back of a check or other paper. All checks should be endorsed by the 
depositor when he deposits same, whether payable to his order or not. Endorse- 
ment to a specified person should read : 

Pay to the order of John Smith 
(Signature of Endorser). 
This check is then payable when endorsed by John Smith or to his order. 

INTEPvEST — Interest is the premium paid for the use of money or the 
accumulation of an unpaid debt. Interest should be paid when due, or else it 
may be considered as principal and also bear interest. This is called com- 
pound interest. 



COLLECTIONS — The collection department of a bank is of great 
value to its depositors. Notes, drafts and all negotiable paper will be accepted 
for collection and the bank notifies its customers promptly of the payment or 
refusal of all collections. 

PROTEST — When the bank has no funds to your credit to meet any 
note, draft or bill of exchange which you have given the matter is subject 
to protest, which is a written document drawn up by a notary public. 

The document is then attached to the dishonored paper and each endorser 
is at once notified -that payment has been refused. The holder must give 
notice to all whom he wishes to hold liable, but notice to any one endorser 
binds him, and if there are any other endorsers whom he wishes to hold liable 
he must notify them. In leaving paper for collection you should give the 
bank instrutions whether or not to protest for non-payment. 

DRAFTS AND ACCEPTANCE— A common method of collecting 
accounts is by either "at sight" or "time drafts." When a "Time draft" is 
presented to a drawee he acknowledges the obligation by writing across the 
face of the paper "accepted," giving also the date and his signature. 

OVERDRAFTS— The law on this point states that a Cashier or Teller 
should not pay money on a check when the funds to the credit of the drawer 
are insufficient to meet same. It further states that the drawee of the check is 
a party to the wrongful act, and the bank can recover the amount. It is one 
of the strictest and most important laws for the bank to allow no overdrafts. 
Never under any circumstances overdraw your account. 

LETTERS OF CREDIT — A letter of credit is a great convenience to 
travelers, as it establishes their credit for the amount named therein at any point 
where there is a banker. The signature of the payee is written on the face of 
the letter as a means of identification, and often a full description of the per- 
sonal appearance of the bearer is also given. 

LOANS — Banks are always ready to loan money on proper security, 
and usually give precedence to the application of a regular customer. The 
laws governing banking set forth what kind of security a bank can take, so that 
some banking institutions are compelled to decline what others would readily 
accept. 

IDENTIFICATION — In order to protect against the dishonest practice 
of unknown persons, banks are compelled to require that all strangers shall be 
introduced by some responsible acquaintance of the bank, who can vouch for 
the character and integrity of the other. 

FORGERY — The bank is supposed to know the handwriting of its 
customers, and if it pays a check upon a forged signature it is liable for the 
amount. This rule simply applies to the signature, for the face of the paper 
may be in different hand writing and is not a matter of suspicion. 

A fraudulent alteration in the body of a check after it is once signed 
constitutes a forgery as much as the simulation of the signature itself, and the 
check becomes useless even in the hands of an innocent holder. If payment is 
made by the bank the bank must stand the loss, unless it can be shown that 
the negligence of the drawer laid the foundation of the fraud.

for the mailing office. 

The local rate applies to parcels mailed under the following conditions: 

1. At any post office for local delivery at such office. 

2. At any city letter carrier office, or at any point within its delivery limits, 
for delivery by carriers from that office. 

3. At any post office from which a rural route starts, for delivery on such 

route, or when mailed at any point on a rural route for delivery at any other 
point thereon, or at the office from which the route starts, or for delivery on 
any other rural route starting from the same office.

FOREWORD. 

In presenting "The Classified Directory of Negro Business Interests and 
Professions of Essex County," we are putting in the hands of the people, a 
literature which we believe to be prophetic of a concerted effort on the part of 
the American Negro to develop commercially, for taking into consideration 
the numerous advantages this line of endeavor offers for civic and political 
emancipation, the progressive Negro is going to devote a greater part of his 
energy than heretofore expended in the establishment of enterprises and pro- 
fessions which will give employment to their young men and women, and along 
lines of work, wherein their education will fit and their experience qualify 
them for such positions at present refusing them employment. 

To say the opportunity offered the Negro in the business world is limited 
is to interpret him in the present, but his opportunity is not limited when we 
consider him in the future. 

It is the purpose of this bureau to encourage the every effort of business 
education, foresight and acumen among Negro citizens, and it is our hope that 
the matter contained in this directory shall commend itself favorably to this 
community and general public, by reason of its reliability, to the negro business 
man by reason of its supplying a need, and to the negro youth, as a help and in- 
centive to be the better and to do the best.

UNITED STATES HAS NO SET NATIONAL HOLIDAYS. 

There is no national holiday, not even the Fourth of July. 

Congress has at various times appointed special holidays. In the second 
session of the Fifty-third Congress it passed an act making Labor Day a public 
holiday in the District of Columbia, and it has recognized the existence of cer- 
tain days as holidays for commercial purposes, but with the exception named 
there is no general statute on the subject. 

The proclamation of the President designating a day of thanksgiving 
only makes it a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories. 
Each state provides for its own holidays.

INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEGRO GIRL IN 

NEWARK. 

By William H. Ashby, 

Supervisor, l^egro Economics for New Jersey, U. S. Department of Labor. 

The entrance of the colored girl in industry in Newark as well as other 
northern cities, is a new thing. The causes which brought about this social 
change have been so often repeated that we tire listening to them now. By 
comparison, and to relate with any certainty our progress, we must compare 
the industrial opportunity of the colored girl in Nev/ark. It is now many many 
times better than ever before, although it is not all that we hope it to be. 

When the war broke out there were but two industries in this city employ- 
ing Negro girls — laundries and tobacco factories. Now they have been taken 
into all sorts of shops — toys, leather, trunks, celluloid, canning, packing, 
record making, knitting, garment making, etc. One naturally asks if they 
have made good. It appears to me that we can positively state that they have. 

That the colored girl is undependable, shiftless and without ambition is a 
criticism often made, and may have some truth in it; but on the other hand, 
one does not have to talk long with an employer before he tells you that such 
and such a girl is one of the best girls he has had in all his business experience. 
This adverse criticism should not act as a deterrent to the girl of our race who 
wants to work in the shop. It should, on the contrary, stimulate her to work, 
so efficiently as to make the imputation false. Although the war has ceased, 
the colored girl is still sought as a factory employee. This fact seems to me 
the best evidence of her value as a worker, and the possible permanency of her 
industrial place. 

It is to be regretted that the Negro girl has to accept in many instances 
much lower wages, and far v/orse working conditions, tb.an any other national- 
ity, yet her production must be as great. This is merely transitory. Various 
European groups, when they had their first industrial experience here, met the 
same unfair treatment, and vv'hile it is not to be condoned in the slightest de- 
gree, there is a great deal of encouragement to be gotten from the knowledge 
tnat this 16 a passing, and not a static condidon. 



LOST PAPER — If a dieck is lost, payment should be stopped as soon as 
possible by notifying the bank in writing of the fact, especially should this be 
done if the check is payable to the bearer, as any one possessing it can present 
it for payment, and the bank cannot be held liable to the rightful owner unless 
it has been officially notified not to pay the check. 



Since Jewish and Italian labor is leaving rather than coming to this 
country, this opens up to the colored girl, especially in this vicinity, a broad 
field, for her employment in the needle trades. It is well that she think ser- 
iously about this opportunity, and prepare herself to meet it. 

We have an abiding faith in our ability to do, but that faith must abide. 
It cannot falter. Colored girls must learn and practice the industrial virtues of 
thrift, precision and tidiness. She must learn to be "On the Job" and "On 
Time." Above all, she m.ust be interested in her work, and an enthusiastic 
worker. 



Courage, hard work, self mastery and intelligent effort are all essentials 
to a successful life. 

THEODORE ROOSEVELT. 



WHY SHE SUCCEEDED. 

She was cheerful. 

She was loyal. 

She did not watch the clock. ' [ 

She was always on time. 

She ate three square meals each day. 

She was willing and prepared. 

She had confidence in herself. 

She never asked personal questions. 

She listened to criticism with an open mind. 

She considered "I forgot" a poor excuse. 

She was ready for the next step. 

THE STRENUOUS LIFE. 

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the 
strenuous life, the life of toil and eflort, of labor and strife; to preach that 
highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy 
peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or 
from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.
